transmission
hari kunzru knyga transmission krito į akį dėl viršelio, bet perskaitęs santrauką knygos nugarėlėje, nutariau, kad vidus turėtų būti irgi neblogas: indijos cybergeekas atsidūręs kalifornijoje, bolivudo princesė ir marketingo ekpertas susieti per pasaulį besiritančio kompiuterinio viruso. tikėjausi vos ne outsource’into indiško cyberpunko :]
nieko panašaus. knyga apie dabar ir apie mus. tiksliau apie juos. ten toli: indijoje, amerikoje ar globalioje erdvėje (šįryt londonas, per pietus paryžius, o vakaras – dubajuje). sarkastiškas globalizacijos veidas.
vienintelis man knygoje nepatikęs dalykas – skubota pabaiga. knyga įsibėgėja labai lėtai, bet galop siužetas rangosi pašėlusiu greičiu, kol autorius nutaria, kad knygai turinio užteks, ir, greitai greitutėliai, per keliolika puslapių užbaigia visas siužetines linijas. daug neįtikimų įvykių ir nepagrįstos personažų transformacijos.

iOS UI Proportions (from Principia Arbiter: New Visual Proportions for the iOS User Interface, via Timoni West)
One thing I’ve noticed in a lot of custom iOS UIs (particularly ones designed by engineers) is a lack of attention to proportions. As this diagram demonstrates, the standard iOS UI has a visual rhythm—a major rhythm of 44 pixels and a minor rhythm of 11 pixels to be exact. When you work within this system for your sizing, spacing, and padding, your app will generally look and feel harmoniously iOS-like, even if the UI is heavily custom. When you don’t, it tends feels subtly off (as in the iPod playlist screen example given in the article).
This is super weird. Why are so many more babies born in the summer? I guess the winter blues really get to people? Crazy …

Internet artists, for all of their digital-native wisdom, should know better than to think .JPEGs are a viable commodity when they’ve seen multi-billion dollar industries like music, film, and newspapers run around like baffled idiots for the past decade trying to figure out why they can’t sell MP3s, MOVs, and PDFs like they used to in traditional media.

smagu paskaityti, ką kiti skaito, va susimastau, kodėl aš neparašau ką perskaitau?! Gal todėl, kad niekam neįdomu ir tokių dalykų vargiai kas skaito. Pvz: indviduali psichoterapija ir psichodinamikos mokslas. :)
